Coupling, organometallic catalyzed

The first series of soluble oligo(para-phenylene)s OPVs (20) were generated by Kern and Wirth 1331 and shortly thereafter by Heitz and Ulrich [34]. They introduced alkyl substituents (methyls) in each repeat unit and synthesized oligomers (20) up to the hexamer. Various synthetic methods, like copper-catalyzed Ullmann coupling, copper-catalyzed condensation of lithium aryls, and twofold additon of organometallic species to cyclohexan-l,4-dione, have been investigated. 

Coupling reactions catalyzed by palladium and involving tin, boron and other organometallic derivatives have become of increasing importance in all areas of organic chemistry. K. Undheim and T. Benneche (University of Oslo, Norway) have now reviewed these reactions with reference to their application to rr-deficient azaheterocycles. 

Nucleophilic displacement of halogen in pyrazines and quinoxalines is the most common method for the synthesis of otherwise inaccessible heterocycles, in which, over the past 12 years, the most innovative methodology has been the organometallic catalyzed cross-coupling reaction (Scheme 10). The first example in the pyrazine series was the reductive dechlorination of chloropyrazines... 

Cross couplings. The catalyzed coupling of haloalkenes with organometallic reagents gives rise to various functionalized alkenes, including enynes, 3-substituted 3-butenoic acids, and 1,4-dienes. ...

In summary, palladium-mediated reactions, especially cross-coupling reactions have found many applications in quinoline synthesis. It is noteworthy that due to the a and S activation for the C(2) and C(4) positions, even 2-chloro- and 4-chloro-quinolines are viable substrates for palladium-catalyzed reactions under standard conditions. With the advent of the palladium chemistry and more commercially available organometallic substrates, more palladium-mediated quinoline syntheses are to be added to the repertoire of quinoline chemistry. 

Knochel et al. described Pd-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling reactions between zinc organometallics and aryl iodides in [BMMlM][Bp4]. Scheme 5.2-20 illustrates the reaction for the formation of a 3-substituted cyclohexenone from 3-iodo-2-cyclo-hexen-l-one [82].

This method can extend Ni-catalyzed cross coupling to functionalized organometallic reagents. 

Most studies on nickel-catalyzed domino reactions have been performed by Ikeda and colleagues [287], who observed that alkenyl nickel species, obtained from alkynes 6/4-41 and a (jr-allyl) nickel complex, can react with organometallics as 6/4-42. If this reaction is carried out in the presence of enones 6/4-43 and TM SCI, then coupling products such as 6/4-44 are obtained. After hydrolysis, substituted ketones 6/4-45 are obtained (Scheme 6/4.12). With cyclic and (5-substituted enones the use of pyridine is essential. Usually, the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of the reactions is very high. On occasion, alkenes can be used instead of alkynes, though this is rather restricted as only norbornene gave reasonable results [288]. 

Organometallic reactions leading to condensed pyrans containing three or more rings have been achieved by cyclooligomerization processes and by intramolecular coupling. The former type of reaction is based on intramolecular trapping of o-xylylenes produced in cobalt-catalyzed cyclization... 

The first examples of the use of palladium as a catalyst for carbon-carbon coupling reactions were reported almost thirty years ago [14], and over recent decades a massive effort has been devoted to the extension of the scope of palladium-catalyzed reactions. Organic and organometallic chemists have received extensive input from palladium-coordination chemistry in the task of understanding the mechanisms behind these efficient synthetic procedures [14].
